They read it with inebriated eyes and toss the card over a French Quarter balcony as fireworks display from Jackson Square and the Mississippi River.

Diverse group of friends, both socioeconomically and romantically. They are in different stages of life, and they have a different vision for their life. But the resolution takes each of them on terrifying and hilarious directions.
